The user interface now has modern and fresh look and feel, which together with the new features makes modeling easier and faster.

With the Dynamo integration available in both React Structures TP3 and Revit, engineers are able to transfer a Revit model into React Structures in a very flexible way.In this video you will discover how to build a Dynamo graph to create a one-way model exchange workflow from Revit to React Structures. For that we will see how to:

How to use the goBIM platform to easily digitise your product information.

During the early stages of the building life cycle, architects and specifiers play a vital role regarding the types of products that are going to be used in the project. They should use generic data sets to specify product characteristics, thus creating as designed models that specify the type of performance required in the project.

When the asset is built, facility managers require accurate as built product data in order to efficiently manage their assets. It means that during the construction stage, contractors have to collect from their suppliers and subcontractors accurate as built data and deliver it to the FM.

goBIM allows the product manufacturers to share their data in BIM formats so that their clients and all participants in the construction project such as contractors, architects, specifiers, etc. can collect the data they need in the language and format they require it in.
By using goBIM it means that your product data is available in BIM formats such as IFC, COBie, Revit, ArchiCAD etc, in different classifications such as Uniclass and Omniclass and in many languages.

Data comes in many shapes and sizes

Product Data Templates are the most efficient solution for digitising manufacturer's data. Manufacturer's data comes in many shapes and sizes mainly because it is widely used across different countries across different companies and across different software. Therefore, in order to make manufacturer's data truly interoperable according to the principles of BIM, Product Data Templates need to use a common language that anyone can understand.

What is important today is that we can all understand the same thing no matter the language or the language types being used. To solve this issue coBuilder uses the buildingSMART Data Dictionary in order to map all those purposes against each other so we can understand the same thing and so that machines can understand the same thing. That is our way to give people the flexibility, that they really much require, across the whole supply chain.


About the BuildingSMART Data Dictionary

BuildingSMART Data Dictionary is open standard developed by buildingSMART International and it is based on ISO 12006-3 the ISO standard for dictionaries. Is a library of “everything” related to construction that unifies the use of technical terms regardless of the language.


Cobuilder’s use of the bSDD

Today, coBuilder the only software provider who has fully and completely integrated all their systems and data with the bSDD. What is more, if there are properties, definitions, translations or other instances missing from the dictionary we constantly make sure to add them in it.
